“You will remember this night forever,” he told me. My friend was taking me dumpster(垃圾桶)diving for the first time. We both needed costumes for a party so he decided to show me around a few of the city’s finest waste baskets. After finding costume materials in the thrift store(旧货店)dumpsters, we stopped at a grocery store. There we found a dumpster half filled with potatoes and bread. We collected bags of potatoes to share with friends and to use for cooking with Food Not Bombs(a group that shares free vegetarian food and speaks against war and poverty). I was later told that using the dumpsters could earn me the title of an urban pirate(海盗)-what a great honour!

My first dumpster dive opened new doors for me. I had struggled with spending money. Now I think it will prove difficult to buy anything after seeing what people throw away. Something about all those wasted resources is not right. It seems we are constantly buying more and more and throwing away perfectly usable items, while many cannot meet their basic needs.

People who have never done their shopping in a dumpster believe it is dirty, dangerous, and humiliating. In reality, a diver with an old pair of jeans, a flashlight and a little common sense (wear boots and gloves to guard against sharp objects)should not have any trouble staying safe and can feel good about being a resourceful and responsible consumer. Dumpstering is a good way to save money, labour, and lessen our environmental impact.

From that dumpster tour, I had a new opinion on garbage. I found I can do something in this wasteful society. By living simply and taking what little I need from others’ unwanted goods, I am able to begin to break the habits of wastefulness. The influence of that first urban pirate adventure created a continuing impact on my life.

72. What is the attitude of the author to the title of an urban pirate?

　 A. Tolerant　　　　　 B. Proud　　　　 C. Respectful　　　　 D. Humiliating

73. “My first dumpster dive opened new doors for me.” means　　　　　 .

　 A. it has led to a better life for me and made me wealthier

B. it has made me buy nothing later and break the habits of wastefulness

C. it has changed my views and attitudes to consumers and living

D. it has brought me good senses to be a responsible and a resourceful consumer

74. The main idea of the third paragraph is　　　　　　 .

　 A. only the poor goes in for dumpstering

B. how to keep safe while dumpstering

C. the benefit and value of dumpstering

D. how to save money and lessen environmental impace

75. In the writer’s opinion,　　　　　 .

　 A. there are many objects to be recycled in the dumpster

B. there are too many people looking down upon the divers

C. the little of an urban pirate is a prejudice

D. the influence of the first urban pirate adventure had an ill effect on his life

Fermat’s Last Theorem

Simon Singh

In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem: Fermat’s Last Theorem(定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat’s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.
